A message arrives from extraterrestrial intelligences and has an entirely unexpected addressee.

This was a short story serialized in four parts for Field Enterprises. The result is less than felicitous. As with many of Asimov’s other stories specifically commissioned for non-sf markets, it’s weak and uninteresting as science fiction. Further, the fact that it’s short and broken into four even shorter pieces, each one of which has to begin with a summary of the previous bits for anyone who hadn’t read them, the result is choppy and hard to read. Definitely minor, minor Asimov.
